DISKCOPY
The DISKCOPY command copies the entire contents of one floppy disk to
another.
Syntax
DISKCOPY drive1: drive2: [/option]
Remarks
The first drive specifies the source disk, and the second drive specifies
the target disk. The disks that may be copied are 720KB, 1.2MB, and
1.44MB disks. Both the source disk and the target disk must be of the
same type. If the target disk is unformatted, or has a different format,
then it is reformatted before copying. If any problem occurs during the
copy process, DISKCOPY indicates the side, track, and sector where the
problem occurred. The source or the target disk may not be a RAM or
virtual disk. DISKCOPY copies only floppy disks, not hard disks.
Options
The /V option verifies the copy after completion.
